Organisation and governance by Ad Valoris

Don't

your
organisation
hinder
your
approach
to
the
future

In an era where entrepreneurship is no longer what it used to be, and companies are called upon to rethink their practices, your organisation must strengthen its responsiveness.

The challenges of a reaction force

Yet, 9 times out of 10, conventional organisations are not the best suited to the complexity and unpredictability of your environment.

Why?
Because they still too often rely on principles inherited from the past:

Cascades of hierarchical pyramids, centralisation of decisions, siloed teams, and a corporate culture not sufficiently focused on achieving results.

Organisation optimisation
By Ad Valoris

Our comprehensive guide to success

3 key principles to consider:

1) Your organisation is a means, not an end in itself..
Always seek coherence with the characteristics of your company and its ambitions.

2) The ideal organisation does not exist.
The ready-made model is a mirage; your company is unique and unlike any other.

3) Harmonious interaction between the components of your company is crucial.
Take a holistic view to better articulate: processes, structures, tools, skills, and culture.

The stakes of responsiveness

The vital equilibrium for your business

Finding the perfect balance between stability and agility is not just a competitive advantage; it is essential for survival.

Stability: the solid foundation

‘Stability’ in your business refers to the ability to maintain a steady course. It arises from a coherent organisational model tailored to the size of your business, the complexity of its activities, and the characteristics of the markets in which it operates. This is reflected in well-defined structures and processes that ensure operational continuity, efficient resource management, and compliance with regulatory standards. As an example, a manufacturing company might rely on proven production processes to guarantee the quality and reliability of its products.

Agility: dynamic adaptability

In parallel, agility is the ability to be flexible and responsive. It involves a less rigid organisation that favours rapid adaptation to market changes, new technologies, and evolving customer expectations. Consider a technology company that, while maintaining rigorous software development processes, encourages rapid innovation and adaptation to market trends. This approach results in less hierarchy, more employee empowerment, and a culture that fosters initiative-taking and cross-functional collaboration.

The best of both worlds

Finding the optimal balance between these two aspects is crucial for strengthening your company’s ability to react to challenges and opportunities. This requires constant reflection on how structures, processes, and corporate culture can be adjusted to remain relevant, responsive, and resilient.

By adopting this balanced approach, your company not only survives but thrives by leveraging its stable strengths while remaining dynamic and innovative.
